"The conquest of the River Plate began as a mistake, based on unreliable information and deceptive appearances. Ambition followed, it was all part of a dream. Perhaps this is the source of many things which have grown in this land of illusions; the reason for the difficulty we have in looking reality in the face and for our consequent need to forget. And perhaps it is why a gap still separates us from reality. But it must also be the source of many other dreams closer in time, unfinished or apparently laid aside, which retain the value and the appearance of having once been believed in, dreamed about."
